1 in 13 Black children are born with sickle cell trait and 1 in 365 is born with sickle cell disease.

Medical treatment for sickle cell disease is expensive and providers often don’t know how to treat the disease.

Pain management, assistance with medical treatment, and improved communication between doctors and patients can all contribute to improved well-being for people living with sickle cell.
